Q18 / 150 · MHT CET 2026 (17 April Shift 1) · Chemistry

Which from following is a homopolymer ?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Polyacrylonitrile
  • B
    Buna - N
  • C
    Urea formaldehyde resin
  • D
    Polycarbonate

Solution

A homopolymer is a polymer which is formed from only one type of monomer.

Polyacrylonitrile is formed by the addition polymerization of a single monomer, acrylonitrile.

Buna-N is a copolymer formed from two different monomers, 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.

Urea formaldehyde resin is a condensation copolymer formed from urea and formaldehyde.

Polycarbonate is a condensation copolymer typically formed from bisphenol A and phosgene.

Therefore, polyacrylonitrile is the only homopolymer among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
